Dress Code!

I suggested semi formal. Maybe try dressy casual for yours

We live in Texas and are having a more laid back rustic wedding. Our dress code is Dressy Casual i.e. jeans and button ups with cowboy boots are acceptable. lol

I used to listen to this podcast when I first started wedding planning and they have this guide that I was able to use to describe what I wanted my guests to wear.

We told everyone dressy casual for ours. The majority of the guys wore khakis and polos and the women wore casual dresses with sandals or slacks/jeans with a nice blouse. The only thing we did ask was for no one to tank tops or flip flops.

I would tell people to dress casual.

I’d look up the definitions of the different dress codes and pick from there, it’s much easier for people to understand if you use a universal term that can just be googled if someone has a question.
If you want girls in short dresses, guys in nice pants and a button down, like a date night out, I’d say “cocktail attire”. If you want even more casual where you might get nice jeans and sundresses you can say “smart casual”. Best bet is to look up the terms yourself and pick from there!

I had the same kind of wedding and I told people that slacks and a polo were fine and the women wore regular dresses.
